Transfiguration of the Soul

In this powerful oil painting by Alberto Juárez, a scene charged with symbolism and inner movement unfolds. On the left, a black and white female figure—seemingly vulnerable yet serene—is partially integrated into the canvas, as if emerging or dissolving within it. Her introspective pose and the soft tones of her skin contrast with the dynamic energy on the right side: an abstract figure with wings made of feathers that seem to emerge or detach from the body.
Both sides are connected by a spiraling black line, as if the invisible thread of consciousness or the soul that connects the human with the spiritual. The abstract and ethereal background is composed of light-toned glazes, with subtle hints of pink, black, and orange, evoking deep emotions without the need for words.
The painting suggests a transition: from flesh to spirit, from form to essence, from woman to bird. It is a visual metaphor for inner rebirth, liberation, and personal transformation.
